My analogy/quote for the day....

...IF you can solve a 4x4 Rubik's cube with one hand, and put together a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle with the picture upside down with the other hand, AND know where to find a bauxite mine, then you can build an RV-3 or RV-4....but only IF.

i really enjoyed my RV4

the best part about them is the bargain value they are when bought used, even if you are building one, it isn't that difficult to find a good used one to exercise and maybe show you more about what you want in the finished product of your build

(to those of you reading this thread second guessing which path to take, build or buy, do both!)
